I'm wondering, what tank class is in favor of these boots? I hear a lot how Pallies are all about block, and parry much less, and Warriors tend to be an all-around stat class. I'm guessing they benefit both classes, but which one would benefit it more?

Speaking form a tankadin's point of view, I wouldn't say that we are all about block, although you're right about parry taking a backseat to dodge, due to the sharper diminishing returns, but that is the same for warriors as well.

Nether warriors or paladins tend to stack block for raiding (with the exception of tanking Anub'arak's adds on heroic) . It simply isn't as good as the alternatives in it's current form, however the true stength in block value is for tanking the easier content, such as heroics.

My paladin's block set isn't great and there are a lot of upgrades for it, including these boots but I have about 3000 block value without procs. With this I am easily able to run heroics without a healer and often take less damage than the other meele due to blocking the damage whirlwinds and cleaves.

Edit

I'd say warrior, for the reason Each time u parry u get rage, and block, but a paladin uses mana so it's not AS useful, but it is still good for a paladin ....
